STOP AND WASTE COCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 424,774, dated April 1, 1890.

Application filed August 2, 1889- Serial No. 319,536. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY J. FREUDENFELD, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsimhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stop and Taste Cocks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to stop and waste cocks, and will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my invention on line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2 2, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section 011 line 3 3, Fig. A.

A B are valve-chambers that are both formed in the same casting, the wall a separating the two chambers and also separating the inlet-chamber b from the outlet-chamber c, and below b and 0 there is a well through which the two chambers communicate. The inlet-valve C has its seat in the mouth of chamber 1), and its stem C projects down to a rocking lever D, to which it is pivoted at one end, the other end of this lever being pivoted to the lower stem D of the wastevalve D which has its seat in the bottom of chamber B. The upper stem D of wastevalve D after passing through a bushing E, has screwed to it a turirbuckle F, which has a longitudinal opening through it, an d through turn-buckle F may have another stem I screwed into it from above, by which the valve-stem D may be operated directly from above when my device is used for flushing water-closets, for instance; but the valve D is normally held open by lever G, one end of which carries a large weightj, and to the end of lever G that carries the weight j a wire L is attached, which leads to any convenient portion of the building and by which this end of the lever is lifted to close valve D and open valve C to admit water to the building and stop the waste through chamber To facilitate the operation of lever G and steady its action, a counter-balance its end opposite the weight The operation of my device is as follows: The water from the main enters at port M. Port N leads into the building, and port 0 leads to the sewer. As the parts are shown in Fig. 1, the water is shut out of the building and the waste-valve has been opened to allow the water in the pipes to drain out. Now, when water is desired in the building the stem D is depressed either by-the stem I or wire L and valve D is closed, and through its stem D and lever D valve 0 is opened and water is admitted, and pressure will remain in the building-pipes as long as the parts are held in this position. Upon the release of lever G the valve C will close and valve D will open automatically.

Having thus described my invention, whatl claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

j is p aced on 1. In a stop and waste cook, a casting having formed therein two valve-chambers, an inlet-chamber and an outlet-chamber, a wall separating the two valve-chambers and also separating the inlet-chamber from the outletchamber, and a well below said wall, through which well the lastnamed chambers communicate, in combination with valves in said valve-chambers, stems connected to said valves and passing down through the valveseats and the inlet and outlet chambers into said well, a rocking lever pivoted to the lower end of said wall and moving in said well and there connected to the lower ends of said valve-stems, a stem rising from the upper end of one of said valves and passing out through said casting and carrying a turn-buckle, and a lever passing through the said turn-buckle and carrying weights at each end thereof, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

2. In a stop and waste cook, the combinaseparating the inlet and outlet chambers,-

and a well below said wall through which the inlet and outlet chambers communicate, of valves in said chambers having downto and rising above said turn-buckle, and a Wire secured to and rising above one end of said levers adjacent to the heavier weight I 5 thereon, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.

HENRY J FREUDENFELD.
